Petunia hates them. She is so freaked out by them. I feel so bad.

Re: How is everyone's pets...

We play a big role in how they handle loud and unexpected noises, so we've always done the best we could to ignore the sounds, distract them from it, and just act as their pillars of strength. Chat Icon

I know a lot of dogs are just extremely fearful and there's not much you can do about it. Brinkley we taught to be calm and that it was no big deal. Ginger's ears perk up at the sound but she doesn't get anxious and we don't pay attention to her when she's in that state.

We had the AC on last night too so it muffled the sounds. Ditto tonight, it's going to be in the 90's today! Chat Icon

We did the same, plus I turn the TV on and sing some karaoke to help drown out the fireworks!! Although she might be better off taking her chances with the fireworks rather than my singing...Chat Icon The fireworks here have already started todayChat Icon

Rocky went outside last night to go the bathroom and he stood in the middle of the yard shaking. We had to let him sleep with us last night cause he was scared.

It has been a bad weekend so far since he got neutered on Friday and the fireworks he's not a happy puppy!!!!

Re: How is everyone's pets...

i'm dogsitting my parents' pug right now. She's this little thing, but isn't scared instead she wants to fight the fireworks. She goes crazy trying to get outside and fight.

We crank our AC to make noise and put the tv on loud, and get our dogs out before dark. My female is reallly bad with them, my male could not care less.

Stupid me didn't even think to let her out before it got too dark...and mine are the same way-she's a mess, he could give a crap.
